Title is editorialized because the original is, frankly, clickbait garbage
The problem for me is when someone sends me a location pin it is almost always a Google map link. I have the same issue with people in my community using whatsapp.
I guess you are right, for me I just try to avoid all Google links and products in the first place. I understand that you can tweak privacy controls and settings that allow you to manage how your data with Google is collected, I could also use a privacy browser or incognito, but my main issue is not giving any of these juggernaut corporations a chance to swing and cash in on my personal data.
Sorry, I’m a bit confused. Is your problem that you feel forced to use Google Maps? Or that you feel forced to ignore your friends because they use Google Maps? I assumed the former with my initial reply, but now it sounds like your have the latter problem.
I’m not ignoring my friends; I’m just pointing out that due to the convenience of these apps, the people around me use them without seeming to care about their privacy implications.
Is that actually a problem for you? It’s their life, they are free to do whatever they want. I’m trying to understand how this actually affects you since your original reply started with “the problem for me is…”.

Can’t you just open that in a web browser? Take the address, put it in an alternative map app. Problem solved.
